Abstract

Omental infract is an infrequent cause of sudden acute abdominal pain which resulted from focal torsion or lack of blood flow to a portion of the omentum [1]. The clinical diagnosis remains challenging without complementary tests such as Computed Tomography (CT) as the clinical presentation of this condition can mimic other acute intra-abdominal conditions. The aim of this report is to bring attention to this uncommon disease. Here we present a case of a spontaneous right sided omental infarction in a healthy 25-years old male patient.
